"Discovering I had picked such a winner, was a really nice surprise! We stayed one night, but felt we'd made a good friend and found a place we wanted to visit again for a longer stay. Unlike historical homes, this home was built to be a bed and breakfast—not made to work as one. A very thoughtful person clearly designed it to meet the B&B guest's needs. The modern, large and well-appointed guest rooms open up with a great view of the Yaquina Bay with its yacht and fishing harbors, historic waterfront, and the historic Coast Guard station that sits beneath the unmistakably “Art Deco” era Yaquina Bay Bridge. The guest rooms offered plenty of room to set down our bags, hang up our clothes, and still move around comfortably. They were furnished for relaxing with a book or movie, enjoying a light snack, and for peaceful night’s sleep. The decorating was done with a light and easy hand, and sported a distinctly maritime theme. The location is perfect for this charming harbor town—a short drive downhill brought us to the historic waterfront with its lively shops, bay-fronting restaurants, and long waterfront promenade. In the opposite direction, a short-level walk brought us to the seaside hotel district and a fine meal in a restaurant with ocean-side views. Best of all the hosts are friendly, easy going people who made it their business to welcome us with a glass of wine and a hot snack, and to answer our questions about where to eat and what to do while in town.
